How Much Does a DIY Kiln Conversion Cost? (Electric to Soda Kiln) | Part 4

How much does a DIY kiln conversion actually cost? In Part 4 of this series, I break down the real cost of converting an old electric kiln into a soda (or salt) firing kiln, including a full materials list, prices, and money-saving alternatives. This video is Part 4 of my DIY kiln build series, where I convert a used electric kiln into a fully functional soda / salt kiln suitable for backyard or home-studio firing. In this episode, I cover the full cost breakdown of the kiln conversion, including every major material and component used, where I bought them, and what they cost. I also share lower-cost alternatives, including used parts and budget-friendly sourcing options, and talk about what was worth spending money on — and what wasn’t. This series focuses on real-world DIY solutions rather than theoretical or institutional kiln builds. Everything shown here is something that can realistically be done at home with careful planning and attention to safety. This video is helpful if you’re thinking about converting an electric kiln to soda or salt, deciding whether a DIY kiln conversion fits your budget, planning a home or backyard kiln build, or researching real pricing examples for ceramics education or personal studio use. Prices change over time, but this video should give you a realistic starting point if you’re considering a DIY kiln conversion.
